Does anyone know if those using Leopard's new iChat will have compatibility issues when trying to connect/video chat with Tiger users?
Got a tip for us?

Is there a way for Mac users to chat with Windows users using voice and video? I'm getting ready to buy by first mac since Apple IIe so if this is a dumb question foregive me.

There should not be any compatibility issues. But you may not be able to use all the new features Leopard has like screen sharing etc
what about Video and/or Audio??
That is what I meant in the first place, sorry. I know you can talk with text in chat.

Nope no audio/ video compatibility as yet thats why I suggested Skype for that purpose.
I wish Adium would support it though
Yes I've done that. You can do that as well. I used an Aim account to log in to ichat as well.
I use AIM to log into iChat also. So if you are using iChat with an AIM account then you can video conference with a user on AIM for PC? I'll have to try this...

Yes
Yes, I do it with my GF all the time while she's in med school. She's on AIM for Windows, I'm on Tiger's iChat. Adium does not support video as far as I know, but iChat works as great as the other persons windows webcam will allow.

I don't know if it's their cameras, or what, but the video quality for AIM users is fairly poor for me. Poorer than an iChat/iSight <-> iChat/iSight conference.
